AtomCite is an agentic framework that verifies and corrects page‑level citations in multi‑page documents by parsing answers into claims, checking each claim against the cited page image, and applying a deterministic repair policy. The authors introduce DocCite, the first benchmark for this task, built on MP‑DocVQA and DUDE, containing 928 injected instances and 1,909 verified natural errors. Across Gemini, Claude, and GPT models, AtomCite achieves about 93% verification accuracy and improves citation precision from 34% to 87‑90%, while also enhancing hallucination detection in open‑source models.
arXiv:2603. 26791v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Assessing a cited paper's impact is typically done by analyzing its citation context in isolation within the citing paper.
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for scientific hypothesis generation. However, evaluating generated hypotheses remains a challenge for trustworthy AI-enabled scientific workflows.

R2VC is a modular fact‑checking system that separates retrieval, reasoning, verification, and confidence calibration. It uses hybrid sparse‑plus‑dense Wikipedia retrieval, a fine‑tuned generator for structured verdicts, an NLI cross‑encoder for selecting evidence‑based candidates, and a lightweight calibrator for confidence and abstention. On the FEVER benchmark, R2VC improves accuracy by 13.74% over a baseline and shows that verifier‑based candidate selection and calibration are key contributors to performance.
The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can reliably assess scientific hypotheses by using a logit-based energy scoring method that leverages the model’s intrinsic confidence. Across 1,323 papers in 12 disciplines, this intrinsic scoring achieved a 33.0% Hit@1 rate, outperforming a prompted listwise ranking approach that scored 16.6%. The best result, a 1‑billion‑parameter model with logit-based energy scoring, reached 53.1% Hit@1, suggesting that confidence‑based evaluation could improve trustworthy AI‑enabled scientific discovery.
